The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess

Jayda is running around a track where 3 laps is 5km. She runs 6 laps in 20 min. What is her speed in min per km
zzz [600]

Answer:

2km/m

Step-by-step explanation:

6 laps = 10km

(because 3 x 2 = 6 and double 5km as well)

Distance divide time = speed

20 mins divided by 10km = 2km per minute

If a4 = 625, what does (a) equal?
Reika [66]

I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.

If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2

So we go from this

a^4 = 625

to this

(a^2)^2 = 25^2

Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25

From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5

As a check:

a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625

a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625

Both values of 'a' work out
